Why the fuck won't 7:45 just come already

As pessemstic as it sounds, I'm already preparing myself for us to get fucked over by the ref.

Tomorrow will probably be the longest day ever.

Excellent article, The thing that I can't understand is, If Barca go out and all out attack, and we went all out attack aswell, Barca would hammer us. If we can't defend, we're aswell to wave the white flag. We play to our strengths, pick our opportunitys, and stay organised. What the hell is wrong with that? Its Barcelona who come into these massive games with no Plan B!

Hey Edwin U mad bro?

Actually love that

They are two things in which we outmatch Barca in Hunger and Desire. Lets hope that pays dividends. Remember after the 3-1 in Napoli, who would have thought we'd be going into the second leg of a Champions League semi final with a 1-0 lead?

BELIEVE

I can't see us keeping Mata fresh for other games, Since this is probably our biggest game in the last 2 years. Kalou should come on if Mata isn't doing the business, but I think we really need to start Mata in this one.

Leave Rambo on the left wing, He did a great job on Wednesday, why change that? And If Mata can't do much with 25% possesion, what is Kalou going to do in fairness? Mata is better at holding the ball and utilizing it then Kalou, and is capable of magic.

Chivu is actually decent defensivly though, and Rambo did an excellent job in that role on Wednesday. Also I don't hate Kalou, like the majority of people on here, But I'd still rather Mata.

Because it wouldn't be a suprise if he scored a hattrick on Tuesday.

I'd wait till the end of the second leg to start cracking the Messi jokes

I don't know, I just have a feeling that we're going to leave this game thinking "Again the ref fucks us over", but then I have another feeling that will say "We fucking did it". Team picks itself I think, It should be Cech Ivanovic - Terry - Cahill - Cole Lampard - Mikel - Raul - Rambo Mata Drogba Barca will push forward more, So Mata will be more in this game. Even if we go 2-0 down, which is unlikely, We just have to score 1 to go back ahead in the tie. COME ON CHELSEA

Should definatly upload it on youtube, Would get feedback for it from Chelsea and football fans on it aswell, and it gives it the chance to get pretty big. I'm definatly up for it, i'd love to do it.

When Jose Bosingwa was growing up playing football, you think someone would have thought him how to fucking cross a ball, the same goes for Sturridge and passing. Only positive was Bertrand, great game, and could have had a penalty.

If Torres scores a hattrick tomorrow he still won't start against Barca. Let the big man finish what he started, DD will bag another one in the Nou Camp, if he leads us to the Champions League it will cement his place as one of the true great strikers.

I should be included merely on the fact i'm Irish and everyone loves the irish accent, I'll pull in the female audience.

I heard he wakes up at 4 the night before he plays Chelsea and begs our manager not to play Drogba, when the request is refused he cradles in his room rocking over and back

He's battered the poor lads enough at this stage, Arsene Wenger will have the champagne out when he leaves Chelsea. But lets see him leave with the Champions League cup

You couldn't throw Hutch into the deep end like that, We're not Liverpool at the end of the day, and Van Persie would, more then likely, tear him to shreds to be fair to the lad.

Ah yes, I've forgotten. That is a problem, because one of either Cahill or Terry could do with a rest.

Mata came off early though, and he's the only bit of creativity in that side, so i'd keep him, bringing Lampard on for him in the second half.

Cech Ferreria - Ivanovic - Terry - Bertrand Essien - Mikel Sturridge - Mata - Kalou Torres

Thought the thread title said we won 1-0 there for a minute, but i remembered we're useless, nothing but old players, Drogba, Lampard, Terry and Cole are all past it, so seriously lads, what was the real score, how many did Messi bang in against our weak defence?
